Women pick men that look like dad

I think that's what I also did...my bf and my father tend to have some similar facial characteristics but I didn't know it could have been explained that way.

Exams on the way

Tralala...here we go:

Fri 25th Jan - Economic Geography
Tue 29th Jan - Analyse de la langue
Thu 31st Jan - Commentaire Composé

Don't be mistaken, I have only 3 exams because I had 11 presentatiosn and assignments to do during the whole semester. I don't know why I'm feeling quite relaxed about these exams. I don't know if this is good or bad either. Over-confidence is not usually recommended. But on the other hand, I did study (almost everything) already so I shouldn't worry. Or should I? Let's keep our fingers crossed

4 ans d'amour

There was a time when my favourite day of the year was my birth day. For the past 4 years, my best day of the year has changed to the 6th of December. 4 years ago, I was on one of the local online chat rooms. There was no one I knew online. Not knowing what to do, I remembered that once my cousin was talking to somebody nicknamed "WiteXadow" on my pc. I searched through the list and yep...WiteXadow was there. From hi, asl pls and that usual stuff on IRC, we got to discussing a poster of a new album by Katatonia. Something was different with this person...you know how things usually end up with these chat rooms but I already sensed this was going to be particular.

After 1 month or so, with the help of 2 imaginary friends (which were monkeys), we managed to make a date. This was the 6th Dec 2003. Very unusually, I arrived late on that day, so WhiteXadow had to choose himself a film for us to watch. (PS: this was my first and last time that I arrived late coz for the rest of the time it was WiteXadow who arrives late :P). Anyway, WiteXadow bought us tickets for Kill Bill vol 1.

During the whole film, much talking took place between me and WiteXadow. This had nothing to do with love thingies and stuff like that...so till 3/4 of the film I had still no idea of when "THAT" was going to happen. However, very much towards the end of the film some finger playing commenced. Phew!!...that was a good sign :) When the final notes of the film started to be displayed on screen, "THAT" did happen!! We got so lost in it, that the lights were now on, most ppl had left the cinema hall and the ushers were on verge to put us out lol. As soon as we realised that, we decided to continue what we had left in a place that sheltered us for a whole month (and whenever we have the time to relive those early moments).

4 years later, WiteXadow has become what I usually refer to as Baksu. Many things have gone past us through these 4 years. Many things changed as well. But one thing always remained: the unsurmountable love between us that, it seems, keep getting stronger day after day.

I love you!

Some do appreciate

As I previously posted, I have been working in a reservation call centre for the past month or so. Frankly, it's not an easy job. Had it been only reservations (as it is intended to be), that would have made it easier. However, many people phone to try and get everything for free and if they do not succeed in doing so, they start calling you names that only God himself knows from where did they pick them up. Nonetheless, from time to time, you get a call from a really nice and kind person who understands that what you are doing is your job.

Yesterday evening I had quite a particular call. At first I thought the person on the line was one of those who have nothing better to do with their lives, so they phone us to let it all out. But as I went through the history of this caller, I realised that I couldn't blame him for his behaviour. The company had made quite a few mistakes in his regard. I fetched a supervisor, since my position as a call agent does not allow me to make certain decisions by myself. But apparently the supervisor was having a row with someone on a mobile phone, therefore no interest was shown as to the caller's problem. I tried to help the customer the best I could offer. And the best thing is....the caller appreciated it:

Dear *******

Thank you so much for all your help this afternoon and for being the first
person at *** ***** to actually take my complaint seriously; you handled a
very annoyed customer very professionally and calmly; you managed to solve
my immediate problem as well as making sure I got your email address correct
so you could pass my complaint on.

I'm very sorry if I was a bit aggressive....however if you read the email
you may see why I might be a bit upset!

Do show this to your supervisor....in my view you are excellent at your job.


Many thanks again

Best regards

Yes, some do appreciate!

Good News

I have some interesting updates to make.

The first one regards my unforgettable birthday, by the sea eating delicious Chinese food with my baby. It was so romantic this time, thinking of that bottle of red wine with a white rose tied round its neck and that little game revealing a trip to Ireland coming September :)

Second update: I passed my driving test!!!!! I just couldn't believe it. It has become no easy task these days. One of my fellow candidates was saying something about hers being the 4th attempt... Phew! That's one hell of a relief! Any one for a ride dudes?

Still Alive

As one can perceive from my long absence of posting and as I forecasted the tide did get in actually. But I'm surviving so far. Loads and loads of things happened; good and bad. Thanks to that special someone I'm still alive and kicking. Some other relatives of mine aren't though :( Anyways, life must go on...

Everything in place

Or so it seems. Exams are over, assignment finished in time, me and baksu had a small break from our busy world and most importantly the asshole who was pissing me off has decided herself to back off from the group...about fuckin time!! Better late than never however. I could enjoy life from a better stand point for the last week or so. The cherry on the cake was the weekend because baksu finished his exams only on Friday morning but we treated ourselves for that afterwards, didn't we? ;-) We also washed baksu's car. The last time we washed it was like a century ago...no wonder I got all my nails black. But it looks awesome again now the black taxi :-)

Cool...let us make the best out of this (thinking of next weekend olala ;-) ) before the tide starts coming in again.

It breaks my heart

Yeah it does. It really hurts when 2 friends of yours break up after a relationship of 8 years. It hurts even more when after a year that they are no longer together they chat as they are the bestest of best friends. In fact, they know each other like no one could ever dream of getting to know any one of them. It tears your heart wide open when you see him mentioning her in his blog with 'her' in big capital letters or with a lot of emphasis. When playing truth or drink (another form of truth or dare) he was asked in which period of life would he return if he had the possibility to choose. His answer: first year with HER. She is less emotional than him but since their break-up she opened up more. She couldnt control her tears before his & her departures to different foreign lands and to the lyrics "goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend". I wonder what keeps them apart while there's still such a strong bond between them?

A day dedicated to us

Yep we needed this day alone together Baks...me & you, you & me. The last days of 2006 were not quite what one would wish for. Although things were already settled between us we didn't have the desired enough time to just concentrate on us, away from work, university, good friends and BAD friends. And this was it: the 2 nd January, just you and me.

The choice of location was excellent. I really loved those clay cliffs, green countryside and spectacular beach. I can't complain on those short pauses for kisses and hugs neither :) It's all a girl could wish for I must admit. And you gave it to me. I'm so proud, grateful and yeah...happy...after such a long time.

For all this and much more I'd like to thank you. You don't know how much I appreciate this and every other little insignificant detail (buying me chocolate while at the ladies) because these mean the world to me. I'd like also to let you know that I regret the moment when I got angry at you because I was so afraid to follow that path. For a split of a second I kind of forgot that nothing is impossible when I'm with you. In fact, nothing is because hand in hand we did make it!

Baks, I love you dearly...more than words can actually say. Only 1 thing was missing yesterday. I'm not blaming you; it's because things came the way they did. But I'm sure we'll compensate for it tonight ;)
